White People and the Culture of Exclusion

 I saw a tweet yesterday where a white girl posted her pic and said something like, "Twenty-one weeks pregnant. Trannies could never."

I stared at the tweet, and stared some more, trying to decipher what could possibly be the purpose of it. A whole-ass pregnant woman infecting her child with poisonous toxic vibes even before they have a chance to leave the womb. What chance does it have?


But then, it keeps hitting me in the face that this is a trend with the mayonnaise people. A black boy knocks on your door, and you shoot him. Kids are playing in a field NEAR your house, you chase them away and then shoot their mother dead when she comes to collect an iPad you essentially stole from them. Ajike Owens' children are left motherless because the white lady didn't like the black kids playing near her house.

Transphobia.


Like, I'm old enough to remember when the only transphobia I saw was men killing black trans women. It was an epidemic. Everyone agreed it was bad. Suddenly, the tide turned led by white women - trans women were stealing their identities...and stuff. Or something. I don't know. But now its a whole thing. Just another way they have to exclude people.

It's not just racial, this exclusion. Yesterday I saw a tweet where a white mother was complaining that her white kid had been barred from eating cake at a birthday party because the mom of the birthday kid did not count them as 'a friend'. They were playing in the same park. It was this one kid and a birthday party. Naturally, she was playing with the birthday party kids. But god forbid, she eat their cake. She wasn't one of them.

Don't get me wrong, people are within their rights to be mean. To be small-minded. To be all these things. But because they also feel that they are the default, the main character, the only ones who matter, they do try and make lives difficult for anyone else. And that is the problem.

The worst part though, is that the other white people who consider themselves to not be full of hate, do nothing to stop it. In fact, they'll tell you how the bigots just need love and understanding and they'll stop. 

Throw the entire race away.


Now watch this post be taken down or put behind a "sensitive" tag.

A trip from Diani Carrefour on a nduthi


I arrived in Diani late at night, and I hadn't done a lick of shopping because I didn't want to make my luggage even more heavy. I ended up sleeping at 4am so I woke up the next day at 5pm still feeling lazy as fuck. 
Luckily, my hosts had the numbers of some boda boda guys so I was able to get one to pick me up and take me to Carrefour so I could get some food supplies. 
This was my trip back to the crib.
My go-pro might be small but it's mighty.
Can't wait to do it all again. 
Diani is the shags I deserve. Peace, tranquility, and an AC. The best holiday ever.

This is NOT An April Fools' Prank


 The child of destiny series is 15% off for half the month of April. Grab the chance to get the entire series just in time for the release of Marcus Devereux later this year. 

Otherwise, how are y'all doing? Inflation and what not kicking your ass? Well, that's why I thought this would be a good time for a discount. Also, my writer group was talking about how difficult it is to sell books and I thought it was time to jumpstart my web marketing. 

It's been difficult, because ghostwriting is taking all my time, but with some recent health challenges I've gone through, I realized I have to MAKE time for the things I love and also the things that keep my engine running. So I'm overhauling my life.

Wish me luck.

Also, buy the books. You know they're worth your time. YOU KNOW.

In Search of Paradise


I am enjoying the process of creating book trailers. It's a very productive way to procrastinate and also a lot of fun. Also hopefully it attracts some readers to my books. 
What do you think? Waste of time or helpful?
